Mitchell Syma Email & Phone Number

I am a results oriented leader with more than 17 years of management experience with a versatile skill set developed through growing small and large businesses. An experienced operator and business developer with a diverse background and track record of increasing revenue and profits while spearheading operational improvements to drive productivity and reduce costs. Demonstrated ability to effectively lead start-ups to established organizations with annual budgets ranging from $1.5 million to $30 million. A self-motivated multi-task manager who pays close attention to details and is always seeking a challenging environment to create lasting change.I started my career as an officer in Air Force Space Command leading a cross functional team of 85 military and aerospace contractors to achieve cost, schedule and technical performance requirements for an $800 million GPS research and development program. I focused on executing marketing and sales strategies to persuade international and domestic partners to switch from civilian to military grade GPS products by enhancing awareness and increasing demand for the next generation of GPS receivers. By the time I was promoted to Captain I knew that I needed to enhance my overall business and financial acumen to take my diverse skillset to the next level; so I decided to get an MBA from UT Austin. From there, I joined Coca Cola and led a 20+ person cross functional team focused on revitalizing the Minute Maid brand portfolio. After gaining invaluable marketing, branding and CPG experience at Coke, I took a leap of faith and reached a lifelong goal of becoming an entrepreneur. I co-founded Revolution Studio (Houston’s first boutique cycling studio) in 2012. Over the past decade I have cultivated and created a health and wellness community that has transformed the minds and bodies of thousands of people.Specialties: leadership, revenue growth, building and leading teams, B2B & B2C sales, sales strategy, business development, development and execution of strategic plans, cultivating relationships, operations, general management, marketing strategy, recruiting, P&L ownership, goal-setting, cross-functional coordination, problem-solving, and decision-makingIndustry Experience: Aerospace, Consumer Product Goods CPG, Health and Wellness, Fitness, Residential & Commercial Real Estate, Web Design Services, Software as a Service SaaS, Information Technology IT, Government, Military and Defense, eCommerce & Retail, Construction, Architecture and Design
